About .ch
one honest minute
.ch belongs to Switzerland, operated by SWITCH, and it asks for no residency at all, so anyone may register. Renewals are stable at roughly $11, priced with characteristic Swiss restraint and no introductory discounting. It reads premium precisely because it stays understated.
Typical use: swiss business, fintech, premium brand. Right now the cheapest way in is
$5.65 at Hostpoint (promo — it renews at $16.96/yr),
the cheapest renewal on the market is $7.49/yr at OVHcloud,
and the best five-year total is $35.72 via OVHcloud.
If you're moving an existing name, transfers start at $0.99 and normally include a one-year extension.

These services publicly confirm .ch in an exact list or named example, but their auction and release paths differ. Compare the catch fee, collision rule and any registry-early window before placing duplicate orders.
Right now the cheapest verified first-year price for a .ch domain is $5.65 at Hostpoint, and the cheapest verified renewal is $7.49 per year at OVHcloud. First-year promo prices usually apply once — always check the renewal before you commit.
Why is the .ch renewal price different from the first-year price?
Registrars discount the first year to win customers, then charge the regular rate from year two. On .ch the steepest step-up on today's board is ×4.6 — that gap is exactly why Domain.Guru always prints the renewal beside the promo.
What is the cheapest way to keep a .ch domain for 5 years?
The lowest verified 5-year total today is $35.72 via OVHcloud — first year $5.76, then $7.49 per year, ICANN fees included where they apply. Our default ranking sorts by the same formula, computed over 3 years.
Can I transfer a .ch domain to a cheaper registrar?
Yes — a transfer usually includes a 1-year extension. The cheapest independently published .ch transfer right now is $0.99 at Hostinger. Domains must typically be 60+ days old and unlocked, with a transfer code from the current registrar.
